ひな祭り The Doll's Festival In Japan

「博多の伝統や日本の習慣を簡単な英語で表現。」
3月は、やはりひな祭りが最初のトッピクでしょう。
Hinamatsuri is a seasonal festival on March 3, with traditions to pray for the health and happiness of young girls. Households with young daughters celebrate the festival for the girls' future happiness.

And they display a set of dolls dressed in court noble costumes of Heian period on a step-like platform called hinadan. So it is called the Doll's Festival in English.

They also eat various kinds of foods for good luck, such as clam soup, chirashi-zushi( a kind of sushi ), hishimochi ( lozenge-shaped colorful mochi ), colorful snacks called hina-arare, and so on.

And they drink a white sake called shirozake , which has two types, non-alcoholic one and alcoholic one as aside from food. The former one is major.

Since it falls within the peach blossom season, the festival is also called " momono-sekku " or the Peach Festival in English.
